Chapter 1018: Chasing Funds!
The meeting in the conference room of the machinery factory is still continuing, and the atmosphere in the venue is still solemn!
However, just as the factory leader was making the final summary, the door of the conference room was suddenly knocked open.
The huge movement immediately attracted everyone's attention!
Immediately afterwards, in the stunned eyes of everyone, Gu Zhenhua, the leader of the aircraft design team, rushed in and said excitedly: "I understand, I understand."
Seeing his crazy state, the factory leader, Director Zou, immediately stood up and asked: "Lao Gu, what's wrong with you? What do you understand?"
"I understand the reason for the transonic buffeting of airplanes!"
Hearing this, everyone in the venue was shocked and stood up.
Director Zou also looked shocked and asked: "Have you really found the reason?"
"Found it, found it"
Then I heard Gu Zhenhua say loudly: "The design team and the engineering team come with me quickly and gather in the No. 2 assembly workshop. Hurry up!"
After saying that, he ran outside frantically.
Everyone in the conference room was stunned. There was a conference now!
For a moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Director Zou on the stage.
Director Zou also reacted very quickly, and immediately said to everyone: "It depends on what I do, follow me quickly!"
The world is huge and the project is progressing the most. In comparison, a meeting that is about to end is nothing!
After receiving the instructions from the factory leader, everyone in the conference room immediately reacted and ran outside in a swarm.
After the people from the design team and engineering team were almost gone, Director Zou said to the deputy directors around him: "Looking at Lao Gu, the cause of the fault should have been found. Let's not wait here.
Yes, let’s go and see it too!”
"OK!"
Afterwards, several factory leaders also left the conference room one after another and rushed to the assembly workshop!
Soon, all the main cadres of Songling Machinery Factory gathered in the aircraft assembly workshop.
At this time, next to the J-8 fighter jet parked in the center of the workshop, Gu Zhenhua was analyzing the reasons for the transonic buffeting of the aircraft to the staff around him.
"That's pretty much it. Due to insufficient design of the fuselage, when the aircraft flies above the speed of sound, the airflow diversion area will cause the fighter aircraft to buffet."
After listening to Gu Zhenhua's explanation, someone immediately asked: "Team leader, now that the cause has been found, how should this problem be solved?"
"Partial shaping!"
Then Gu Zhenhua pointed to a part of the side of the aircraft and said: "My idea is to modify the angle of this part of the aircraft and change the aircraft's flight streamline flow field, so as to eliminate buffeting!"
"This is a good idea. Let's put it all together to see if it works!" Wang Dayu, deputy leader of the design team.
"Okay, let's demonstrate now!"
"Calculate now"
Soon, the results of the design team's demonstration came out. The local modification method can indeed change the aircraft's flight streamline flow field, and it is very likely to solve the problem of aircraft buffeting.
Gu Zhenhua is an action man. He immediately guided the comrades in the engineering team to repair parts of both sides of the aircraft.
Since the scope of the changes was not very large, the amount of work was not very large and it only took a few hours to complete the work.
After finishing it, although the surface of the plane looks bumpy, everyone always feels that the lines are smoother.
At that moment, Gu Zhenhua couldn't wait to ask the factory leaders for instructions to conduct a test flight immediately!
Director Zou and others were also anxious. After receiving the request from Gu Zhenhua and others, they immediately agreed to their request.
Songling Machinery Factory Testing Ground!
Although it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon and it would be dark in less than two hours, the test site was full of people inside and outside.
In addition to the comrades from the aircraft design team and engineering team, all the middle and high-level leaders in the factory were present, plus comrades from the ground handling, tower command and other departments, a total of four to five hundred people participated in the flight test.
Looking at the slightly shabby fighter planes on the runway in the distance, everyone was very excited, but most of them were still nervous.
The same fighter plane, the same test site, they don't know how many times they have conducted similar experiments.
As a result, the problem of fuselage vibration has not been solved.
So now everyone is also worried that this experiment will end in failure like the previous one.
However, compared to everyone's anxiety, Gu Zhenhua is very confident.
They have never been able to find the cause of transonic buffeting in fighter aircraft before, which is why this problem has not been solved.
After reading the reminder from the mysterious designer today, he immediately understood the crux of the problem. He believed that it would be possible this time.
"Team leader, the pilot is ready, please give us permission to take off!"
"Agree to take off!"
Following Gu Zhenhua's order, the J-8 fighter jet on the runway slid across the runway under the control of the test pilot, and then soared into the sky with a very beautiful head-up maneuver.
Soon, the plane disappeared from everyone's sight, and only the staff at the ground command center could search for the fighter plane through radar.
Immediately afterwards, the ground command center received the flight status report from the pilot from the air: "Report: The aircraft is operating in good condition. Please indicate the azimuth, altitude and speed!"
At this time, Gu Zhenhua said in a deep voice: "Order: Increase the speed to the speed of sound and make a transonic flight!"
"yes!"
As the order was given, everyone's hearts were in their throats.
Dozens of previous experiments have stopped here every time.
Whenever the speed of the aircraft increases to the speed of sound, the fuselage will vibrate, and no matter what they try, they cannot eliminate it.
Success or failure depends on this one move, everyone is very nervous!
However, while everyone was nervously waiting for the results, the pilot's exclamation suddenly came from the microphone: "Report: The fuselage is not shaking, not shaking!"
After hearing the pilot's report, the ground command center was silent for a few seconds, and then burst into loud cheers!
However, Gu Zhenhua forced himself to calm down and said again: "Order: Conduct a transonic flight test again!"
"yes!"
Soon, the ground received another report from the pilot: "Report: The aircraft's speed exceeds the speed of sound, and the fuselage is stable without any signs of shaking!"
After receiving reconfirmation from the pilot, Gu Zhenhua felt relieved.
At this time, a group of factory leaders also gathered around him, surrounding him in the middle.
"Lao Gu, you are really good at it. You said you would definitely be able to solve the problem in the morning, and it was done in the afternoon. How fast!"
"Team Leader Gu, well done. You solved such a big problem for us this time. The factory must ask your superiors for credit!"
"Yes, I must ask for this merit."
However, at this moment, Gu Zhenhua suddenly made a shocking statement: "Dear leaders, you may have misunderstood. The problem of aircraft buffeting was not discovered by me."
Before he finished speaking, Director Zou said immediately: "Who else could it be if it wasn't you? We all see it. Do you want to share the credit with everyone again? This is not okay."
Before Director Zou could finish speaking, Gu Zhenhua said anxiously: "That's not the case this time. Leaders, I have something very important to report to you!"
Seeing that Gu Zhenhua didn't look like he was faking it, Director Zou immediately said, "Okay, let's go back to my office and talk!"
"OK!"
After the group arrived at the factory director's office, Gu Zhenhua explained in detail the confidential documents they received from the equipment department in the afternoon.
After listening to Gu Zhenhua's report, Director Zou said with a shocked look on his face: "You said that someone from above sent an improvement plan for the J-8B fighter jet, and it mentioned the problem of transonic buffeting of the fighter jet?"
"Yes, I originally thought that plan was just a gimmick by the designer to please people, but now it seems that our vision has been narrowed. The other party is a real aircraft design genius!" Gu Zhenhua said with a sigh.
"Do you know which research institute came up with that plan? What is the name of that genius designer?" Director Zou asked in a deep voice.
“I saw the signature, it’s from the Babao Liang Research Institute, and the name of the designer was not mentioned!”
"Babaoliang Research Institute, do any of you know what kind of research institute this is?" Director Zou immediately asked several other factory leaders.
However, everyone was confused and obviously did not know the situation of this research institute.
At this time, Gu Zhenhua suddenly said: "Leader, I want to contact this talented designer through the equipment department. I think his understanding of the J-8 may have surpassed any of us!"
"As long as he is willing to help us, our J-8 fighter jets are likely to be finalized in advance and equipped with troops!"
Director Zou immediately said: "Okay, I'll contact him. If possible, Lao Gu, go meet him in person!"
"OK!"
After finishing speaking, Director Zou immediately called the equipment department.
Chapter completed!
